Freedom2012 sounds like a Bible Thumping Evangelist who wants to blame all roots of evils on to the non-believers. lol !!  Of course when asked for logic and reasoning,"you have to have faith" would be his answer.  

And before you go on discarding scientists, do you take any aspirin or tylanol when you get a headache ? Would you refuse chemotherapy if you have cancer ? Or would you rather just pray for the cure ? lol !! Talk about asinine logic. 

Freedom2012," i support Christianity because i know that when one is a devout Jesus lover, one becomes a better human being." really ? like you start growing wings or something ? lol !! 

Freedom,"But religion must evolve to make a better society which is egalitarian and meritocratic."  Really ? lol !! In the history of any religion, when has this ever happened ? And how long have each one of them existed ? Man you are naive.

Freedom,"Values like compassion, altruism, heroism, self-sacrifice are not encoded in our genetic make up so understanding it from an evolutionary perspective does not make much sense."  Yeah the INCAS built their mighty empire by the grace of Hiduism , Budhhism, Christianity, and Islam. lol !! 

Freedom2012,"It is not a coincidence that when a Tsunamis or Earthquake happens in a poor country, it is mostly the Christians countries who dig into their pockets to help. They are always the first one to respond. This Altruistic behaviour has been shaped by religion, not evolution."  BTW THE MOST TSUNAMI AND EARTHQUAKE PRONE COUNTRY IN THE WORLD IS JAPAN WHICH DOES NOT LIST CHRISTIANITY AS ITS NATIONAL RELIGION.
